Act 5 Scene 3 Flashcards
FRIAR FRANCIS
Did I not tell you she was innocent?
LEONATO
So are the prince and Claudio, who accused her Upon the error that you heard debated:
But Margaret was in some fault for this, Although against her will, as it appears In the true course of all the question.
BENEDICK
And so am I, being else by faith enforced To call young Claudio to a reckoning for it.
LEONATO
Well, daughter, and you gentle-women all, Withdraw into a chamber by yourselves, And when I send for you, come hither mask’d.
BENEDICK
To bind me, or undo me; one of them.
Signior Leonato, truth it is, good signior,
Your niece regards me with an eye of favour.
LEONATO
That eye my daughter lent her: ‘tis most true.
BENEDICK
And I do with an eye of love requite her.
LEONATO
The sight whereof I think you had from me, From Claudio and the prince: but what’s your will?
BENEDICK
Your answer, sir, is enigmatical:
But, for my will, my will is your good will May stand with ours, this day to be conjoin’d In the state of honourable marriage:
In which, good friar, I shall desire your help.
LEONATO
My heart is with your liking.
DON PEDRO
Good morrow to this fair assembly.
LEONATO
jood morrow, prince; good morrow, Claudio We here attend you. Are you yet determine To-day to marry with my brother’s daughter?
CLAUDIO

LEONATO
Call her forth, here’s the friar ready.
CLAUDIO
Why, then she’s mine. Sweet, let me see your face.
LEONATO
No, that you shall not, till you take her hand Before this friar and swear to marry her.
DON PEDRO
The former Hero! Hero that is dead!
LEONATO
She died, my lord, but whiles her slander lived.
BENEDICK
Think not on him till to-morrow:
I’ll devise thee brave punishments for him.
Come, come, we are friends: let’s have a dance ere we are married, that we may lighten our own hearts and our wives’ heels.
LEONATO
We’ll have dancing afterward.
